The predecessor for this effort is the Natural Scenes Dataset (NSD) (<a href="http://naturalscenesdataset.org/"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14.7px; line-height: normal; font-kerning: none; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);">http://naturalscenesdataset.org</span></a>), which is a freely available dataset that is heavily used in the cognitive and computational neuroscience communities. The project is being conducted in close collaboration with co-PI Dr. Clayton Curtis (New York University). Activities in this grant include either (i) designing, collecting, and analyzing the large-scale neuroimaging dataset, (ii) technical work focused on extending and expanding the GLMsingle analysis method (<a href="http://glmsingle.org/"><span style="font-stretch: normal; font-size: 14.7px; line-height: normal; font-kerning: none; color: rgb(16, 60, 192);">http://glmsingle.org</span></a>), and/or (iii) other related experimental or modeling work in visual/cognitive neuroscience.

The general goal of this effort is to better understand signaling across the visual hierarchy (from early visual to higher order areas ventral temporal cortex and frontal/parietal areas). This project is in collaboration with PI Dr. Dora Hermes (Mayo Clinic).
